Nationwider Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 Do you do this on a regular basis? If so, why oh why oh why? I'd just like to know. I find it baffling. Leicester 3 Arsenal 3. For example...Mmm? Yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemmish Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 This really gets on my nerves, why would you leave a game you paid for? Also you never know what is going to happen, unless your like 5-0 down with 5 minutes to go. Still there is no point in leaving early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 I've always wondered why people do this, then I thought, do these people, during sex................... well you get my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuliasz Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 Whilst many don't, some people including myself do have valid reasons to do this such as beating the traffic to catch my train back to Sheffield on night games. Also left Hillsborough a few minutes early because of how busy the trams get after a game and it would have taken ages to get on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFC UK Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 There is no excuse, none Agreed. I would never leave a game early just to avoid half hours worth of trafic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milky Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 i have had to leave a couple of mins early only twice. these have been for night games and we have got a service bus to catch to get home. we left it tight, it required a very quick run on both occasions. it is something that annoys me though when you see people doing it on a regular basis.

andyh1884 Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 Never left a game early, just couldn't do it. I think even those people who's other halves give birth during the game and get a PA announcement should stay to the end - if they've missed the action, there's no point dashing off and missing the action on the pitch as well, a quick phonecall to check everything's ok and then back to watching the lads.

I sit right next to the concource exit/entrance and it really gets on my tits, because the last five minutes people are hanging round the exit and make it a nightmare to see.

filbertway Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 I don't leave early but some people do have valid reasons for leaving early, so when people say there are no excuses for leaving early then that's just not fair on some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janx Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 Oh Here we go again!! this old chestnut!! A load of spotty gits start questionning why some people are not as good as any because they leave a nano-second before the whistle!! Whats all this "theres no excuse" etc etc For god sake its a football game! I leave at 90 mins and run to get into my car then drive the 100 miles up the motorway back home. I do this beacuse if I dont I get stuck in a sh7tload of traffice, on foot, in the car park, on the roads and dont get home for at least a further hour, which impacts on the time spent with my son... which is more important..

Milky Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 it's the idiots who leave 10 mins before half time to get to the front of the food/drinks que that we should be having a go at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuliasz Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 This really riles me the naivety and bloody ignorance of people who say there is no reason at all to leave a football match early. Leaving at full time on a night game for me would mean I miss my train back to Sheffield as the difference in time it takes for 1) getting back to the car and 2) getting to the station by car is massive from leaving 5 minutes early to leaving at full time. So if I miss my train I have to wait over an hour for the next one meaning it costs me more in public transport to get to my house from Sheffield station as the buses would have stopped running by the time I make it back in. So if people want to have a go at me for leaving early then please do but bear in mind the commitment that us foxiles show when we do spend money to commute to make it down every game should FAR outweigh the fact that we leave five minutes earlier for an easier ride home.

Katy Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 I dont ever leave early dont see the point after seeing the guy next to me in the Arsenal 3-3 game leave when we were 2-0 down I dont exactly live near but cant bring myself to leave early, we just go to the dry dock and wait for the traffic to die down. It does annoy me though when people decide (for whatever reason) to leave early and then stand in the way to watch the action on the way out - either you are going early lads or you arent!

Anish Posted 17 March 2006 Share Posted 17 March 2006 If somebody wants to leave early, that's their prerogative. Can't see why others need to moan about it - it's their decision after all. I've only once left early (the Hull game) because my cousin had to get to a party pretty sharpish after the game. But I won't criticise others who leave early - if you've got a problem with it then you're pretty sad. Face it - whether people leave early or not, they've still paid the club for the tickets so it doesn't make them any less of a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
